9. 3 Barriers to Sanitation
Adoption
Low
awareness/ineffective
promotion
Poorly used/inadequate
resources
Neglect of consumer
preferences

11. The Hardware Subsidy Divide
The Failures Generated by Poorly Designed Hardware
Subsidies
Non-ownership
Improper or non-use
False demand
Inappropriate tech
Poor targeting
Creates Dependence
Crowd-out HH funding
But well designed
subsidies…
12. Tips for Hardware Subsidies
Hardware subsidies work when:
There is demand for sanitation
Subsidies are targeted based on
income level
Hardware supply is sourced from
local service providers
15. Developing Supply
Software Subsidies (Business Development)
Training/Accreditation
PromotionalMaterials
Market Research
Output-based Subsidies
Fundsfor installations
Reward for ODF status

A little more than half children
average $7 return in health costs averted andproductivity gained . . . Globally, if universal sanitation were achieved by 2015, it wouldcost $95 billion, but it would save $660 billion.
(Condensed version of the WHO Sanitation Ladder that came out in 2008)Open Defecation: When human feces are disposed of in fields, forests, bushes, open bodies of water, beaches or other open spaces or disposed of with solid wasteUnimproved: Do not ensure hygienic separation of human excreta from human contact—include pit latrines without a slab or platform, hanging latrines, and bucket latrines. Shared: sanitation facilities of an otherwise acceptable type shared between two or more households. Only facilities that are not share or not public are considered improved.Improved: Ensure hygenic separation of human excreta from human contact.—Flush/pour flush to: piped sewer system, septic tank, pit latrine; Ventilated Improved Pit (VIP); pit latrine with slab; composting toilet

Seems pretty clear right? Hardware subsidies are ineffective. But this issue is not so clear cut as this list might have you believe. Again, we must place these “cons” in context. No consultation, subsidies poorly designed-reach wrong groups, materials/maintenance not local
